Hello mate I relate to all of this it’s absolutely horrific. I had a dexa scan a few weeks ago and I couldn’t believe it but my bone density is normal. While this is re assuring why the hell does everything feel so brittle and if I slightly knock my a leg or arm it feels as though it’s been by hit by a hammer. Loss of subcontaneous fat will be a factor but it doesn’t explain the pain the feelings of glass, the cracking/popping/crunching etc. Estrogen will have something to do with it, some women experience this in the menapause as well as the loose skin and dramatic ageing. keep us posted @hippydoof I hope things settle for u/us
Sorry to hear what you are going through .
Maybe the best thing to do for a little while is nothing and stay away from anti depressants that your doctor is probable going to end up giving you.
Can you sleep, eat and go the bathroom normally ? These are the things you need to be able to do to survive. If yes maybe for the next three months do nothing and take nothing other then eating healthy and getting what ever exercise you can even if it’s walking for 10 min every day out of breath
How do you know the sodium butyrate raised your actual testosterone levels ? Did you have labs done ?
Sodyum Butyrate is AA.
Absolutely Awful?

According to the PDF I’ve posted above, It’s an antiandrogen.
But there must be something more, because usually AA do not make people crash like this.
And it’s not the first time we’ve seen that with sodium butyrate.
Thanks laz. Would love to chat sometime man. Do u have what’s app?
This is fucking mental dude. I pray it settles for both of us too

Stay strong.
Will do my best man
I’ve been sleeping really bad. But had my first brown bm today in 2 weeks
Sb absultly raised t or did soemthing similar. It fucks with androgens that is 100 for sure.
I’ll be having labs done next week although of course they didn’t order everything I need

@hippydoof Yes I have drop me a PM with your number.
I found a guy’s post from a few years ago who had the same level of destruction and improved. He wasn’t a veteran like us with multiple years in. I tried to contact him but it looks like he moved on with his life. Point being people can recover even from this point.

Brain fog. Neck pain. I was at Dr’s I weigh 142 pounds I was 155 last time I got weighed. I look and feel very sick

Sorry @hippydoof it will probably be the Kale. It turns me upside down. Like myself I think you’re sensitive to so much.
